As an Amazon seller, my perspective is a little different I guess. Honestly, I'm surprised their rates are still as high as they are. A lot of physical goods are only in the 20-30% profit range and there is a hell of a lot more capital risk and headaches involved. I see those 7-8% rates on...
Too late to edit but I see what you are calculating now.
Sounds like they are going to start pushing this a little more:
"Other revenues are expected to increase in the high-teens largely from the impact of the
Wirecutter business we acquired early in the fourth quarter."
Where are you getting $4M?
Their consolidated Q4 statement has a line item with "Other" (c) at $28.6M
(c) Other revenues consist primarily of revenues from affiliate referrals, news services/syndication, digital archives, rental income, our NYT Live business and e-commerce.
I see NYT reported Q4 earnings couple of weeks ago. They stated Wirecutter and Sweethome did $29 Million in revenue during the qtr.

I wish I could hit the "like" button x100 on this reply :wink:
If you spend the time creating content better for the visitor than your competitors you won't have to waste time thinking about or trying to implement these bogus "hacks".
It certainly helps to start off with an existing domain that is aged and has been indexed for a few years with a good backlink profile. Definitely not a requirement though. A fresh domain can compete in the SERPs with the right links.
I am puzzled how this industry can have only one service provider. Are you saying because it's constrained by geography?
I'd install Adsense on there and just see what advertisers pop-up. Might give you some alternative ideas.
Yes, according to Amazon's TOS.

Are all these low CPC's coming from your Auto targeting campaigns or have you being able to replicate that with Manual as well?
What is the general price range for those products?
The product that I am selling generally falls between the $25 - $60 price range.
My Average CPC for January was $1.23 (Manual and Auto Campaign)
I actually put a cap at $2 CPC but that could easily bust through.
Not sure what you are selling but I would be rolling in euphoria with $.02 - $0.10 bids, LOL. I couldn't even get any impressions when I started at $.50 CPC

Why is selling this particular item below normal price not a smart move? Is there Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP) with this product?
I agree with others that it's likely a promotional code created by the seller to help gain reviews.
